    How does this Fair Value thingy work? If we can't bring in one big sponsor eg Aramco for say 200M, can we break this down in to 20 smaller sponsors of 10M each? Total will be the same and surely if we can attract multiple sponsors, PL can't stop this...or can they?

    It depends on what they are sponsoring, they can't just say we'll give £10m to the club it has to be for something. Though no doubt we can get creative with it

    Shirt sponsor is the obvious, sleeve sponsor too, training ground (though they'd be right to say that's worth shit), a stand, stadium, general sponsorship around the ground etc etc

     Can they really do that?

    We'd probably have to pay them to do that but I suspect they won't do anything mid-seasom, too much hassle from sorting kits out 

     

    It's likely they'll be focusing on something for next season 

  3. Surely they won't be giving Amanda grief on her looks or a 16 year old girl, I mean they've spent weeks telling us they hate the Saudis because of how they treat women.

    You don't want Wilson at the club? Weird.

    Long term I don't see it, almost 30 and keeps picking up injuries 

     

    If we can get younger, better and fitter then that's what we should do

    Just checked.  Aye, he's shit.

     

    Apparently there would be hell on if Ashley had made this appointment.

     

    Thicker than whale spunk.

    There was barely hell on when Ashley employed knackers like Kinnear, Pardew, Bruce even if we were underwhelmed at those appointments

     

    Howe under Ashley would have been a surprisingly smart move which is why it never happened

     

    They just don't like the fact that the overwhelming majority have welcomed him and we are happy at his appointment, anything we are happy with upsets them

  6. No doubt Eddie Howe is shite, if he was so good why didn't any other club want him

     

    They'll make an argument for Lee Johnson being better than him

     

    and no doubt some will criticise him for having no morals and selling himself for oil money 

     

    Another day of the coping mechanism for them

  7. Long term I'd like to only see ASM and Willock at the club.

     

    However in the short/medium term a lot depends on what league we are in.

     

    For example in The Championship I'd stick with Hayden but in the PL we should get better 

  8. Yeah, winning all 3 seems unlikely especially as the pressure will be huge

     

    7 points wouldn't be too bad actually, plus maybe we get a surprise win/draw in December 

     

    It is going to be incredibly difficult to stay up, we just need to be not too far adrift and also we need to make sure our transfers are done as early as possible. 

     

    From middle of Jan until March those fixtures are the ones we need to target. 

  9. The obvious solution is to get rid of Ole and get a manager that's capable of coaching his players, that has an understanding of tactics, that has an identity and can get players to buy into that.

     

    However they won't get rid of him, at least not yet, they've had plenty of opportunity to do that before and not taken it. Getting schooled of City isn't a shock, so why would this be the final straw? 

     

    He'll probably get a result against Watford and Chelsea, his job secure but then mess up again, then rinse and repeat.

     

    What I will say is that he has done a good job overall, when you consider the situation the team were in. He has assembled a good squad, strengthening many areas but the improvements they made were due to his man management and individuals stepping up but that only gets you so far. Being mates with the players, especially after Mourinho was a prick to them works for a while but to compete at the top you need more about you, he doesn't have that and never will. 

     

    Long may it continue cos I don't like Man-U because a good manager with a 1-2 additions can get this squad competing.

    The individual mistakes man. :lol: City didn't have a bloody shot until the 30th minute. Just handed goals on a silver platter.

     

    Feel sorry for Ole a touch that this is likely his last game and pretty much the whole back 6 have made disgusting errors. 

    You think they'll get rid on the back of this? I'm not so sure, getting schooled by City regardless of the result was inevitable

    What is Man Utd’s plan today? :lol: They’ve barely touched the ball.

     

    Atrocious. It’s brilliant.

    Just stay in the game until the last 20-25 mins and then look to attack 

     

    That's why I want a City 2nd, should open the game up more

    Bailly is way too rash to play in this fixture, as soon as I saw his name in there I knew he'd be involved in something crazy :lol:

    Varane is injured and he wants to play 3 at the back to be solid as only 2 defenders can't be trusted 

     

    Maybe AWB as part of a back 3 would be better?
